Specific embodiment
Although can be used any initially it should be understood that the illustrative embodiment of one or more embodiments is provided below The currently known or existing technology of number implements disclosed system and or method.The present invention should in no way be limited to hereafter institute The illustrative embodiment, schema and the technology illustrated, includes exemplary design illustrated and described herein and embodiment party Case, but can be modified in the scope of the appended claims and the full breadth of its equipollent.
Wlan network based on IEEE802.11 can be used as sensor and load transfer equipment.The sensing such as intelligent electric meter information Device information can be used for controlling the center in smart grid application.Sensor can be battery powered and be deployed in compared with distant positions.Therefore, Sensor battery may decay at any time.When sensor battery decaying, the transmission of sensor may die down.Load transfer equipment It can also be battery powered.However, due to load transfer equipment generally do not dispose far, their battery be easy to charge or more It changes.Repeater or transponder can be used for further being sent to the frame from power constrained devices (for example, low power sensor) Its destination.The coverage of power constrained devices can be increased by carrying out relaying using repeater.
Fig. 1 shows the system for being relayed using radio frequency (RF) repeater to the frame from power constrained devices 100.System 100 includes basic service set (BSS) 102.BSS102 includes access point 104, which is coupled to communication Platform.The called station includes sensor 105, sensor 106 and load transfer equipment 108.Sensor 105 and sensor 106 can To be intelligent electric meter, temperature sensor and pressure sensor, and load transfer equipment 108 can be smart phone, tablet computer, Laptop or other equipment.The possible size of sensor is smaller and disposes farther out.In addition, sensor can measure and upload number According to, and load transfer equipment and can receive streaming audio or video, Email, network, send and receive voice, downloading or progress Game uses service or downloading mass data.More or less called stations, sensor and load transfer equipment can be used.In addition There can also be other kinds of called station.
BSS102 further includes repeater 110, which is RF repeater.In an example, repeater 110 is Called station, such as load transfer equipment.In another example, repeater 110 is special equipment.In an example, repeater 110 be load transfer equipment.A repeater is presented only in figure, but more multi-repeater may be present.Repeater 110, which is coupled to, to be connect Access point 104 and some sensors 106, these sensors 106 can be power constrained devices.In addition, repeater 110 has enough Power send frames to access point 104.In this example, repeater function is separately disposed.In another example, repeater function It is included in called station as functional block.Repeater 110 enhances the signal power from sensor 106 so that signal can arrive at Access point 104.There is enough power to send signal to access point 104 for sensor 105 and load transfer equipment 108.Relaying It is power constrained devices which device 110, which distinguishes, which is not power constrained devices.Then, repeater 110 is to from power limited The frame of equipment is relayed, but is not relayed to the frame from non-power constrained devices.Sensor power may be limited.Because The possible size of sensor is smaller and disposes farther out, and battery can decay at any time and may not be able to charge or replace.With sensing Device cell decay, sensor, which is sent, may not have the enough power for arriving at access point 104.
Repeater 110 distinguishes the frame relayed from the needs of power constrained devices.In an example, frame is used PHY are distinguished power constrained devices and non-power constrained devices at physical layer (PHY).Repeater design is simplified using PHY layer And it avoids and implements complicated relay function.
In a wlan, SIGNAL (SIG) field is included in PHY lead code by PHY data unit (PDU).Fig. 2 shows SIGNAL field 115 indicates and currently transmitted relevant controlling feature.SIGNAL field 115 includes device type bit, is adjusted Encoding scheme (MCS) bit processed, bandwidth (BW) bit send length bits and reservation bit.In an example, SIGNAL word Section 115 in individual bit, be labeled as device type, indicating equipment whether power limited.In another example, the individual bit Labeled as forward_ind or discharge pattern bit or other instruction frames whether come from power constrained devices and whether require into The name that one step is sent.In an example, device type bit is that " 1 " indicates frame in power constrained devices and needs After, and device type bit is that " 0 " indicates frame from non-power constrained devices and without further sending.In another example, Device type bit is that " 0 " indicates frame from power constrained devices and needs to relay, and device type bit is that " 1 " indicates frame From non-power constrained devices.Device type bit can indicate the flow or the transmission that are originated from sensor node or load transfer equipment, Wherein sensor is power constrained devices and loads transfer equipment not to be power constrained devices.Alternatively, device type bit can refer to Show that frame is from the low called station of power or from the called station with enough power.During device type bit indication frame needs After device forwarding or frame without further forwarding and in receiving node termination.In an additional embodiment, more than one bit is for referring to Show whether device type or called station are power constrained devices.For example, two or more device types can be distinguished with multiple bits.
In an example, power constrained devices indicator signal is detected by PHY layer completely.Only use PHY layer quickly side Just.Fig. 3 shows the repeater 132 for being coupled to access point 104.Repeater 132 is for only utilizing PHY layer, not utilizing higher The scheme of (for example, MAC layer).Repeater 132 includes two antennas, receives (RX) antenna 122, receives the letter from called station Number, and transmitting (TX) antenna 130, relay the signals to access point 104.Since self-interference may be problem, transmitting antenna 130 It can be directed to access point 104 and the directional aerial far from receiving antenna 122.The received bit of receiving antenna 122 is placed in reception In buffer area 124.When reading out bit from reception buffer area 124, these bits are amplified the amplification of device 126, are subsequently placed at Emit in buffer area 128.Finally, the bit for coming spontaneous emission buffer area 128 is relayed to access point 104 by transmitting antenna 130.
In another example, PHY and MAC layer function are all used for repeater.Not only it had used PHY layer but also had used MAC layer may Lead to time delay, but also will push and be received and transmitted using single antenna.Mainly MAC layer is at least used using PHY layer.Figure 4 show in PHY layer and the functional repeater 140 of MAC layer tool.Repeater 140 only includes an antenna, i.e. transceiver 146, Its execution sends and receivees function.Initially, frame or transmission are received by transceiver 146, are placed in and are received in buffer area 148.In addition to Traditional WLAN PHY function, received PDU are detected in PHY layer 142 by device type module 150.When device type ratio When refering in particular to show frame from power constrained devices, amplifier 152 amplifies bit, constructs MAC data unit by removing PHY (MDU), it and by bit is placed in the trunk queue 154 of MAC layer 144.In general, without being further processed.Then will in After in the transmitting buffer area 158 that the bit in queue 154 is placed in PHY layer 142.Emit the bit in buffer area 158 by transceiver 146 are relayed to access point 104.When device type bit indication frame is from non-power limiting communication platform, detects and receive The MAC Address of frame.If the address of MAC Address matched repeaters 140, MDU is constructed from the PDU received, and bit is set To extra process in the MAC queue 156 of MAC layer 144.When the address of MAC Address and repeater 140 mismatches, abandon PDU.In an example, trunk queue 154 and MAC queue 156 are the different logics implemented in same physical buffer space Queue.In another example, trunk queue 154 and MAC queue 156 are implemented in different physical buffer spaces.
Fig. 5 shows the flow chart 160 of the method for 110 repeater frame of repeater.Initially, it at step 162, is connect from called station Receive frame.
Then, at step 166, repeater 110 decides whether to relay the frame.Repeater 110 can decide whether that relaying should Frame.When frame comes from power constrained devices, repeater 110 can determine to relay the frame in step 168;When frame is limited from non-power When equipment, repeater 110 can determine not handling the frame in step 170.In an example, when frame comes from sensor, frame comes From power constrained devices, and when frame carrys out self-supported transfer equipment, frame is not from power constrained devices.In another example, When frame is from the low sensor of power, frame comes from power constrained devices, and when frame is from the not low called station of power or load When transfer equipment, frame is not from power constrained devices.In additional example, the decision about repeater frame is based on the power of frame. Repeater 110 detects the power of the frame received.When the power of the frame received is lower than threshold value, repeater 110 is determined in step The frame is relayed at rapid 168.On the other hand, when the power of the frame received is greater than or equal to threshold value, repeater 110 is determined in step The frame is abandoned at rapid 170.
When repeater 110 determines to relay the frame, which is relayed to access point 104 at step 168.Repeater 110 Determine the mechanism of repeater frame.The frame that need to be relayed is stored in it and emitted in buffer area by repeater 110.Then, when frame arrives at queue When foremost, the frame of storage is sent access point 104 by repeater 110.When the decision of repeater 110 does not relay the frame, the frame It is further processed at step 170 without any.
Fig. 6 shows the flow chart 180 that called station sends the method for frame.Initially, at step 182, called station determines it It whether is power constrained devices.For example, it is power constrained devices when called station is sensor;And when called station is load When transfer equipment, it is not power constrained devices.In another example, when the power of battery of called station be lower than power threshold, or For person when the power of the signal of transmission is lower than signal threshold value, it is power constrained devices.Be equal to when the power of battery of called station or Higher than power threshold, or when the power of the signal of transmission is equal to or higher than signal threshold value, it is not power constrained devices.
Then, at step 184, called station is based on whether called station is middle instruction in power constrained devices setting frame head Symbol.Head can be PHY layer head or MAC layer head.In this example, indicator is device type bit, individual bit.In an example In, when called station is power constrained devices, device type bit is set as " 1 ";When called station is not power constrained devices, Device type bit is set as " 0 ".In another example, when called station is power constrained devices, the setting of device type bit For " 0 ";When called station is not power constrained devices, device type bit is set as " 1 ".Alternatively, more than one bit can be used Indicate whether called station is power constrained devices.
Finally, sending frame at step 186.Frame can be sent directly to access point 104.Alternatively, repeater 110 can will be in frame After arrive access point 104.
Fig. 7 shows the flow chart 190 of the method for 104 assigned repeaters of access point.Initially, at step 192, access point 104 receive the message from called station.These message can indicate whether called station has the ability for supporting repeater function.These Message, which may also include access point 104, will use using specified one or more called stations as the additional information of repeater.It can communicate The association of platform executes step 192 again during association.It can be by by capability bit for the instruction of the ability as repeater Increase to message elements or information field (for example, capable field) Lai Shixian.
Then, at step 194, access point 104 determines which called station supports repeater function.For example, this can be based on The indicator of repeater function is supported to carry out about called station.
Next, access point 104 specifies one or is repeater to multiple called stations at step 196.In an example In, only select a called station.In another example, multiple called stations are selected.It may be selected with repeater function and have most High-power equipment.Alternatively, selection is located at the equipment for needing the sensor proximity relayed.
At step 198, access point 104 sends assigned repeaters claim frame (one or more) to and is appointed as repeater Called station (one or more).The frame is alternatively referred to as repeater _ notification frame.Table 1 shown below shows action management frame In repeater specify claim frame format example.Sequentially 1 includes classification, and sequence 2 includes movement, such as repeater is specified and asked Seek field.Repeater specifies whether request field instruction called station is appointed as repeater.In addition, sequence 3 contains assigned repeaters (ID) field is identified, and sequence 4 includes other fields.The example of assigned repeaters id field includes MAC Address or association identification It accords with (AID).
